Much appreciated Ben, thanks. Mmm, think i will keep the black to be honest, and def a no-no with the black wheels.

yep, have to cos i am just a lowly learner driver lol

Agreed, but more than enough to run a decent car.

i am getting about 40mpg in my 1.6 with a mix of A-road and town driving

Ok, could someone please do me a photoshop and colour code the bump strips and door strips for me ? Also if you could colour the wheels gloss black to give me some idea?

If my car was a better colour (e.g. black or silver) i would colour code without hesitation. Its just I am not sure whether there will be too much of the cyclone blue if i colour code.

Good idea, i will have to get some decent pics done and then will see if someone can do a 'shop for me.

Is that colour coding or gloss blackness?

I have a 2003 Cyclone blue 1.6 dynamique. Was gonna colour code it but am not sure now as i think the black breakd up the blue a bit. For some reason last night (when i got back from the pub!) I had the thought of having the bump strips, spoiler and handles painted gloss black. Anyone got...

I think a lot of driving instructors lease their cars and generally replace them yearly anyway. Plus, think about how much money they must make charging £20+ per hour. My instructor works 11 hours per day, 6 days a week. At £20 per hour that would be £1320 per week gross.

thats an extreme, but why not? the car goes as fast as you make it go. a lot of people are making the presumption that a learner cant control themselves or a car properly. think about it, i havent seen a car that goes fast by itself just because it can, the car requires the necessary input...

it freshens the boot, stuck there so you cant see it as i think the magic tree ones look cheap and tacky and didnt want to spend the cash on another poppy coral that would be stuck out of sight in the boot.

i have a poppy coral air freshener stuck to the rear passenger armrest. At the minute it has the lemon(!?) refill but think will replace it with the vanilla one when it runs out. In the boot i have a magic tree type freshener stuck to the underside of the boot carpet over the spare wheel bay...

Mmm, thats very interesting, hope thats gonna work with the ph2 1.6 as well!

as long as it wasnt like that before the service, i would get in touch with them.

Its also how it says to do it in the handbook.

Right, say the guy you bought it off was called Dave. Here is a history of the car: Bought brand new by John Smith. Sold to Dave. The car now has one previous owner (John) You buy the car. It now has two previous owners (John and Dave) If you were to sell the car you would say it has 2...

Are you meant to include yourself? Previous means before/prior to. So if i was selling my car it was owned by two people before me so had 2 previous owners as i havent sold it yet. When the next person buys it the car will have had three previous owners, the two before me + me and the new...

its only too fast if the learner has a lead foot and floors it everywhere. If he drives sensibly its fine, after all 30mph is 30mph whatever your in.

i have one of those Renault/Sebring ones which i have decided not to fit as i want to keep the stealth look. Yours for £70 inc p&p p.s. its never been fitted, boxed with instructions.

some mate as well, the police obviously couldnt prove it first time round, so wouldnt it just have been their word (2 of them) against the so-called mate (1 of him)?

Shocking! Still, if either of them had been famous and over the alcohol limit as well i am sure that a fine would have been enough. How that doesnt "strike at the fabric of justice" i will never no.

thats what i thought, as long as they look standardish i doubt there will be any problems.

north east scotland. Sure it probably is simple enough, but prefer to be able to remove all traces of the sat nav when its not in use. With a hard wire would i not have the cable lying up on the dash somewhere? just have to learn to look to the left instead of the right when i glance at the...

so if your in a faster car your not gonna be driving at the same speed then? even a 1.2 is capable of all of the uk speed limits with a little bit in reserve. Its a bit of a generalisation saying that a learner is gonna be dangerous in a more powerful car. I know people who have driven for...

don't like messing with elastic trickery myself so think i will just start putting the unit on the centre of the dash

using my instructors car for the test, only have 4 weeks left to wait now (!)

agree, cos the minute they put it in the box it will be out of dat cos there are a lot of roads in GB which get rerouted, new ones being layed every day etc. I am pretty happy with mine, only issue i have is concerning the battery life and the length (or lack of it) of the car charger...

interesting point as i have some 172 16" wheels waiting to go on, would they go as far as measuring my wheels if i was making a claim for some reason?

might belong to the learner, nice first car if it does!
